Call

Especially as someone who desperately misses my cherished children,
J.K. Simmons made me cry last night in his Academy Award acceptance speech when
he implored people to call their parents.

I would take that step farther - if you can, reach out to
anyone who has made a difference in your life and let them know how they matter
to you. My mother died three years
ago.We had a challenging relationship,
but I miss her terribly and would give anything to be able to talk to her again
for even one minute.

I have been so blessed to have many, many people, friends
and relatives, show me support and love over the years.Life is so short.At the end of the day, staying connected to
people we love is truly what makes living worthwhile.

A call can be a simple connection or it can be an opportunity to begin to heal a deep wound. Either way, it is a winning proposition. Call someone you love, for you and for them. From 1 Corinthians 13:Love is patient, love is kind. It keeps no records of wrongdoings. Love does not delight in evil. Loveneverfails.

Origin

Welcome to Nourish: living, laughing, whining. Here is a blog where you will find encouragement, boring stories and, best of all, self-pity!

Yikes, what a journey this is!! Who needs to do it alone?!? And without laughing?!?

This started out as a blog for weight loss support, to nourish ourselves as we slimmed down. ha ha ha ha Ok, at least for me, that didn't happen. But lots more did, so I started writing about that instead.

Now in my posts I consider how it helps to have a sense of humor while exploring life. Although it is still important to take care of ourselves physically and emotionally. Don't forget that.

This site was inspired by the brilliant ideas and input of many dear friends.

About Me

I am a 60-something writer and I spend much of my time pretending I don’t have Multiple Sclerosis. I have limited success at that. Unfortunately, life did not think MS was quite enough and I am also fighting Stage Four breast cancer. The rest of the time I write, I read, I knit, I sew. I obsessively watch documentaries about the British Royal Family. Ok, just kidding about that last one. Sort of. It’s NOT obsessive.
I am an inveterate Anglophile. I am grateful for my children, for my grandchildren and for my many, many wonderful friends. I think vodka is underrated as a coping mechanism. I adore my little dog. I wish I could marry Dick Cavett, Conan O’Brien and Bruce Springsteen. But not at the same time. I realize two of them are out because they are already married. I thought that still left Dick. But I just found out to my dismay he is taken as well. Sigh. Further proof you can't always get what you want.

Encouraging Quotes

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. --Mark Twain
